Perhaps one could reasonably assume that counselling an asthmatic to quit
smoking would be in the remit of sound advice whereas saying
 > "you know if you had Bf this may not have happened." .
would come under the heading of giving guilt induction which is pointless
[since in the example the horse has long bolted].I would discipline anyone
guilty of saying such a thing to a parent
I actually see what the manager is asking for as reasonable - support for
mums who choose to feed by any route. We are free to counsel that BF is best
but are not able to enforce that advice.
I would be madder than a wet hen if I found nurses not supporting a mother
regardless of whether she approved of a feed regime. I would also be upset
if a nurse discriminated against a smoker with heart disease, etc.
